Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Everything is dangerous. As long as we plan properly, we can definitely gain time to complete the refueling mission."
Zhao Gang trusted Xu Dalong very much. Seeing how confident he was, he said: "If you say it will work, then it will work. I agree with this plan."
After returning to the guerrilla headquarters, Xu Dalong, Zhao Gang, Sun Desheng, Wang Chengzhu, Wang Limin, Huang Jingzhong and others discussed the combat plan carefully and determined the final plan.
Since we needed help from our superiors regarding intelligence, we reported this combat plan to the Taiyue Military Region Headquarters.
Taiyue Military Region Headquarters.
After reading the battle plan drawn up by Xu Dalong and others, the commander said excitedly: "This guy Xu Dalong really dares to think and do it. This plan is really crazy."
The chief of staff studied the map carefully for a while and said with some worry: "It's really risky. First of all, their long-distance march has to pass through a long enemy-occupied area, so it is difficult to conceal their combat intentions. Under the heavy protection of the enemy,
Under this situation, taking down the enemy's airport is another huge challenge. In addition, they have to overcome many difficulties. Every link in the middle must be done flawlessly. Otherwise, not only will their success be in vain, but they may also suffer
You will encounter enemy siege and cause heavy losses.
I really can’t even think of such a crazy plan.”
The commander was very confident in Xu Dalong. He smiled and said: "The battles Xu Dalong and the others fought took huge risks. Almost all of them can be described as crazy, but they won every time."
.I believe their action this time will be successful."
The chief of staff said with some expectation: "I also hope they can succeed. If this plan succeeds, we will have a huge air force, and future battles will be much easier to fight."
The commander said: "Since Xu Dalong and the others need our help, I think I will ask Li Changshui to go with them personally."
The battle plan was drawn up. Xu Dalong and others took the time to make preparations.
Yan Jiaju, commander of the transportation battalion of the Logistics Department of the District Governor's Department during World War II, admired Xu Dalong very much and often boasted to others that he had such a good brother.
That day he received a call from Li Kun, saying that Xu Dalong had sent a telegram and wanted his help with something.
Yan Jiaju was very happy and immediately led a team in person to deliver a batch of high-grade gasoline and 80 portable gasoline barrels to Guancheng County.
Xu Dalong personally entertained him and gave him two large yellow croakers. After dinner, he accompanied him to watch the performance of the guerrilla art troupe.
Yan Jiaju was very happy and patted his chest and promised that no matter what Xu Dalong had asked for, as long as he could do it, he would help him solve it as soon as possible.
Wang Xiaohu organized everyone to process a lot of herringbone ladders and prepared dry food and other materials for the troops to march.
Wang Jinke rarely rested for several days, seizing the time to forge various documents.
Zheng Xirong took some members of the intelligence squadron, Wei Monk's special operations squadron, and Wang Pao's motorcycle squadron to set off first to survey the marching route for the large army.
Zhao Gang arranged for people to come to the airport and delivered a batch of Japanese military helmets to Bob and others. These Americans were all tall and big-headed, and they looked very funny after wearing Japanese military helmets. Although they looked down upon them
The Japanese army's steel helmets, but they also knew that this was the guerrillas' love for them, so they accepted them.
Chu Yunfei received Xu Dalong's invitation again, and together with Fang Ligong, he led the two main groups of the 358 Brigade to Guancheng County to act with the Mawushan guerrillas.
After a week of preparation, Xu Dalong, Chu Yunfei, and Wang Limin led the large troops to leave the base area and began a long-distance attack.
Taiyue Military Region Headquarters.
After leaving the Mawushan base area, Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao and Kong Jie felt very regretful. During those days in Mawushan, it was so enjoyable to fight with Xu Dalong and the others.
They miss these days very much and wonder when they will have such an opportunity to fight happily. They did not expect that the opportunity will come again so soon.
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie received an order from the military region headquarters to go to the headquarters to accept new combat missions. The order emphasized that only the two of them were allowed to participate.
Although the two of them did not know that they were fighting together with Xu Dalong and the others, they were very happy to have a battle. So the two of them came to the military region headquarters to report. They really did not expect that a bigger surprise was waiting.
them.
This meeting was highly confidential, and the only people attending the meeting were the commander, chief of staff, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie.
When the chief of staff finished introducing the combat tasks assigned to the New 1st Brigade and the New 2nd Brigade to cooperate with Xu Dalong's command, both of them were very happy.
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Brother Dalong, they are really capable of causing trouble. I didn't say anything, but we, Lao Li, must help out."
Kong Jie said excitedly: "Commander, you can rest assured. Our New Second Brigade is now strong and well-equipped. We can keep the little Japs in the city from getting out and ensure the safety of Brother Dalong and others."
The commander was very satisfied with their attitude and said: "Your combat effectiveness is beyond doubt. The reason why only two of you are allowed to attend this meeting is because this matter requires absolute confidentiality. When you are mobilizing the troops,
, do not expose your combat intentions, and do not reveal your true purpose to the troops until the battle begins. Do you understand?"
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie said loudly: "Yes, Commander, I understand."
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie left the compound of the Military Region Headquarters together. Kong Jie said as they walked: "Old Li, Brother Dalong is really interesting. He always thinks of us when good things happen."
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Old Kong, you are not in my favor. Brother Dalong thought of me first and took you with me."
Kong Jie said disdainfully: "Pull him down. Are you the only one who came from the Independent Group? Don't forget that the Independent Group took over from Lao Zi. Brother Dalong came from our Independent Group and is with us.
As close as a hole."
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Okay, Lao Kong, seeing you like that, I can't even make a joke with you. Let's say goodbye and see you on the battlefield."
Kong Jie said with a smile: "Old Li, what you said is just human talk. Okay, see you on the battlefield."
After saying that, the two parted ways and returned to their respective places.
Li Yunlong returned to the headquarters of the New 1st Brigade. Zhang Dabiao hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Commander, do you have a combat mission?"
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "How can we, Lao Li, go out personally and not win the battle?"
Zhang Dabiao asked: "What combat mission?"
Li Yunlong said: "It will be kept secret for now. You will know when the time comes. Inform the brothers in the brigade and ask them to prepare. There will be a big battle soon. All officers and soldiers of the brigade will participate."
As soon as Zhang Dabiao heard that the whole brigade was going to participate, he knew that the scale of this battle must be large.
He said happily: "That's great. Our brigade's current equipment is not inferior to that of the Japanese. The brothers train every day and are already moaning from the pain. I'm just planning to find a fight with the Japanese. I'll go right away.
Give notice."
After saying that, he happily went to make a phone call.
Xu Dalong and others still disguised themselves as Japanese troops and marched on the road in a swaggering manner. In order to avoid attracting the attention of the Japanese troops along the way, the troops did not gather together, but divided into several groups, each heading towards the predetermined route.
In Shanxi, the troops marched extremely smoothly and did not encounter Japanese and puppet troops on the road. The main reason why this happened was because Xu Dalong and others robbed the Japanese army's columns.
Since the military outburst, Yoshio Shinozuka knew that the anti-Japanese armed forces of the underground party had been supplemented with a large number of weapons and ammunition, and their combat effectiveness would rise sharply. Originally, the Mawushan guerrillas were already very powerful, and after being supplemented, they would definitely be stronger than before.
It was even more arrogant in the past. The destruction of the two cavalry regiments in Lingao City is enough to prove this.
Since the operational deployment to siege the Mawu Mountain base area could not be carried out for the time being, Yoshio Shinozuka was worried that the Japanese troops around Mawu Mountain would be defeated by Xu Dalong and others one by one, so he asked them to shrink the main force together, repair fortifications, and rely on the city to hold on.
They waited for the First Army to mobilize new troops and complete the operational deployment of the siege of Mawushan before they could move out of the city. Therefore, the Japanese and puppet troops in those small strongholds shrank one after another, and the Mawushan guerrillas were able to move forward unimpeded.
Chu Yunfei's 358th Brigade did not leave Shanxi. They secretly came to the vicinity of Lingao City and waited in hiding.
Cui Zhenyue's tank troops were so impressive at first glance that they did not leave Shanxi this time. They just drove to the predetermined combat location with the cooperation of four motorized infantry squadrons.
Xu Dalong and others entered Hebei and continued to move towards their intended goal.
Baoding Prefecture.
As the saying goes, dragon meat is in the sky and donkey meat is underground. Donkey meat is famous for its delicious taste, especially the donkey meat roasted in Baoding Prefecture, which is a famous delicacy.
Before Zheng Xirong and Li Changshui set off, Xu Dalong told them that if they had the chance, they must try Baoding Prefecture's donkey meat barbecue.
Zheng Xirong took a bite of the roasted donkey meat, and the aroma went straight to his forehead. He sincerely praised: "The roasted donkey meat is so delicious!"
Li Changshui also smiled and said: "The last time I ate it was three years ago, and now I can finally have another meal."
While chatting, the two of them kept their eyes on the door of the restaurant, waiting for the Baoding underground party liaison officer to come to join them.
Suddenly a few traitors came in outside the door. There was an old saying in the past: "Jingyouzi, Weizuizi, Baoding's bastard." The traitors in Baoding's dress are very distinctive. They usually keep their hair parted and wear a
A top hat with a white ring, a double-breasted coat with open arms, a pair of black trousers, a box of cannons slung across the body, and a big gold tooth in the mouth if possible. This kind of
The image in old movies was that of a traitor.
Several traitors shouted as soon as they entered the door: "Shopkeeper, are there any anti-Japanese elements here?"
The manager of the restaurant had a headache just looking at them, knowing that these guys were trying to rip off people again.
He hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Sir, you are just joking. We are all good people here. Where did the anti-Japanese elements come from?"
The traitors ignored him and said, "Everyone in the store is listening and please give me your certificate of good citizenship."
None of the dining guests could afford to offend these guys, so they all took out their certificates of good citizenship.
Zheng Xirong and Li Changshui also took out the Good People's Table and placed it on the table.
Soon the traitors inspected Zheng Xirong's table. One of the traitors looked at the good citizen certificate on the table and saw that Zheng Xirong's good citizen certificate said he was from Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi, and asked: "Are you from Shanxi?"
,What are you doing here?”
The reason why Zheng Xirong used the Good Citizen Certificate from Taiyuan Prefecture was because he had no choice but to speak Mandarin very well. He could tell he had a Shanxi accent as soon as he spoke.
He followed the words he had prepared and said: "I am a clerk, and I come here to do business with my boss." After saying this, he pointed to Li Changshui next to him.
Li Changshui is from Peiping and knows a lot about Beijing movies. He said: "Yes, boss, I am the shopkeeper of Sheng Dexuan in Beiping City, and he is my clerk in Taiyuan branch.
I plan to open a branch office in Baoding Prefecture. I am new to Guibao Land and I don’t understand the rules here. I hope the bosses can forgive me." After saying this, he took out two pieces of gold from his pocket and handed them over.
The traitor's eyes lit up when he saw the ocean, and he grabbed a piece of the ocean with his fingertips, blew on it, and listened with pleasure to the buzzing sound the ocean made when it trembled.
Then the traitor nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, I understand the rules. Okay, let's continue eating from you."
The traitor sect took another cursory look at the certificates of good citizenship of several guests, then turned and left.
The guests all hated these traitors. No one dared to say anything when they were there. When they saw them leaving, some people quietly cursed: "These Japanese bastards are really abominable."
At this moment, those traitors suddenly came back and came to Zheng Xirong and Li Changshui again.
The two of them were nervous for a while, not knowing where the flaw was, and secretly prepared to take action.
The leader of the traitors said: "I always feel that you two are acting suspiciously. You must be anti-Japanese elements. Come with us."
Why did these traitors come back again? It turned out that they took the two oceans given to them by Li Changshui. After going out, they felt that two oceans shared by four people was a bit small, so they planned to come back to extort money.
Li Changshui is very experienced and understands the purpose of these guys. He said calmly: "The boss is joking. We are all businessmen in our duty and good citizens. The bosses are very discerning and can definitely tell the difference.
Right or wrong." After saying that, he took out another five or six yuan and handed it over.
Seeing the white ocean, the traitors immediately beamed. The leader said: "You are right. Sir, I have sharp eyes. I looked carefully. You are indeed good people. Okay, continue to eat you."
Burn it." After saying that, he took the traitors and left.
The guests saw the traitors leaving. They all saw clearly the faces of these traitors and despised their extortion behavior.
Someone said: "What? These Japanese dogs will bully the people."
To be honest, Zheng Xirong was really a little nervous just now. Although he was engaged in intelligence work, he was still young and lacked experience in dealing with Japanese and puppet personnel. He admired Li Changshui's calmness and calmness. When he saw the traitors leaving, he secretly
He gave him a thumbs up.
Li Changshui smiled slightly, picked up a piece of lotus root and put it into his mouth.
After a while, Li Changshui felt that it was almost time for the connection. He took out his pocket watch and looked at it. Two minutes had passed, and the connection person had not appeared.
Time passed by minute by minute, and another 15 minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and the contact person still did not show up.
Li Changshui felt that something must have gone wrong, so he made a quick decision and immediately paid the bill and walked out of the restaurant.
At this moment, shouts and gunshots suddenly came from outside. It sounded like the Japanese and puppet troops were chasing someone.
Seeing this situation, the two of them did not dare to stay here anymore. They immediately followed the crowd running on the street and ran into a small alley not far away.
In order to understand the situation, the two of them looked from the entrance of the alley in the direction of the gunfire, and saw a group of Japanese and puppet soldiers chasing a person.
Seeing this person's figure and dress, their hearts sank, because this person was exactly the same as the person their superior described in the telegram as the person they were interacting with, both in body shape and dress.
They saw the man running, but he was shot by the Japanese and puppet soldiers chasing behind him and fell to the ground.
The Japanese and puppet soldiers rushed up and surrounded him. At this time, a large group of Japanese and puppet soldiers came on the street.
The two of them did not dare to stay any longer and immediately hid in the alley. Then they came to the street behind from the other end of the alley and blended into the crowd.
The two of them couldn't figure out what was going on, and they didn't dare to stay in the city, so they left the city and reported the situation to Xu Dalong.
This time Xu Dalong brought out eight cavalry squadrons led by Sun Desheng, six infantry squadrons led by Wang Chengzhu, Wei Monk's special operations squadron and Wang Pao's motorcycle squadron, with a strength of more than 2,000. It is difficult for such a large team to last long.
Hidden.
Now the troops are hiding in two villages a few kilometers away from Baoding Airport. They have temporarily blocked these two villages. The blockade cannot last long. Over time, it will definitely attract the attention of the enemy.
After reporting to Xu Dalong, Li Changshui sent a telegram to the superior underground party organization, reporting what happened in Baoding City and trying to find out what happened in Baoding City.
Two hours later, the superior organization of the underground party sent a telegram, saying that they had lost contact with the underground party organization in Baoding Prefecture, and that Xu Dalong and others' plans for action might be exposed, reminding them to make a prompt decision based on the situation.
Xu Dalong and others originally wanted to get in touch with the Baoding underground party organization and learn more about the Japanese airport and the garrison in Baoding City, but it seemed that they could not hope for the time being.
